"Life is lived forward, but understood backward. It is not until we are down the road and we stand on the mountain looking back through the valley that we can appreciate the terrain God has allowed us to scale.” Jill Savage

Now, this song, may not seem like much to the average person , but it is a metamorphosis of sorts - in a song! I saw Jennifer sing it on the CMA awards. It starts out where she is begging 'him' to stay and he leaves her for someone (something) else. Then it shows how she starts to see the truth and by the end she is up off her knees. Somewhere in there her self esteem grows. Then she gets up on her own two feet and tells him to stay and she leaves. Big song to me.

Artist/Band: Sugarland

Lyrics for Song: StayLyrics for Album: Enjoy The Ride

I've been sittin' here stairin'at the clock on the wallAnd I've been layin' here prayin'Prayin' she won't callIt's just another call from homeand you'll get it and be goneand I'll be cryin'

And I'll be beggin' you babyBeg you not to leave

But I'll be left here waitin'My Heart on my sleeveOh for the next time we'll be hereseems like a million yearsand I think I'm dyin'

What do I have to do to make you seeShe can't love you like me

Why don't you stayI'm down on my knees

I'm so tired of bein' lonelyDon't I give you what you needWhen she calls you to go

There is one thing you should knowWe don't have to live this way

Baby, why don't you stay

You keep tellin' me babyThere will come a time When you will leave her armsAnd forever be in mine

But I don't think that's the truth

And I don't like bein' used and I'm tired of waitin'

It's too much pain to have to bareTo love a man you have to shareWhy don't you stay

I'm down on my kneesI'm so tired of bein' lonelyDon't I give you what you need

When she calls you to goThere is one thing you should knowWe don't have to live this wayBaby, why don't you stay

I can't take it any longer

but my will is gettin' stronger And I think I knowjust what I have to doI can't waste another minuteAfter all that I've put in itI've given you my best Why does she get the best of you

So next time you findyou wanna leave her bed for mineWhy don't you stayI'm up off my knees I'm so tired of bein' lonelyYou can't give me what I need

When she begs you not to goThere is one thing you should knowI don't have to live this wayBaby why don't you stay

You could concentrate why is she with another man when he has someone (something) else - well it's a good song. Think deeply with me here. That's not exactly the point of the song.

She starts out in the relationship (or in her life) insecure and needy. Something else, it doesn't even have to be another woman, but something else is always getting in the way of their relationship. Then she starts to grow. Then she goes full circle. She gets better and is off to find her life.

Did I Tell you I wrote a book and hope this school year (my year's cycle) to get it published. It's called 'Full Circle' and it is about this very topic.

The circle is that she started the song by begging him to stay - by the end of the song she begged him to stay with the other woman (something else)! She had found herself. She accepted where she was and what she was. Now she can find what she really needs and wants in life. Something good and worthy enough of her.
